Photos from tonight and last night, including catching them lowering a panel in, and showing that there will be a slight overhang at the jog in the pedestrian walkway

Finally,

That's the gantry crane track. It'll go from the bridge to just past James Street and will enable the efficient removal of spoil from the excavation into a steady lineup of trucks exiting onto Bay Street. Once the crane is installed, that's it, we're getting 24 hour digging for about a year.

This will be excavation for the station entrances?

This will be excavation for the station entrances?

Not just the entrances, the entire station. They're going to dig two massive holes on either side of Yonge, mine under the existing station and then build the station up to ground level.

Here's a diagram of the gantry crane being installed:

Snapped a quick photo as I walked past the site on Aug 15, excavation well underway in the middle of Queen Street outside of the Eaton Centre:

I'm not in town, did they re-open the north passageway through James Street? It's honestly so inconvenient to have to go all the way around. When that passageway was open for a few weeks, made all the difference. Hopefully this stays for the remainder of the project.
